You've heard the old adage scarce as hens teeth? Used GeeZer dress up parts are scarcer than the FILLINGS in hens teeth.

But I guess you never know!

LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

Come on, I am a poor working girl! I can't afford the retail prices Suzuki wants for a little thing like a sissy bar. There must be a used one out there somewhere!

Sure there is a used one out there. Probably being used right now. Have you tried Ebay ?

I'm looking for the same part, and the only ones I can find on eBay cost as much as a new one.

Is this an OEM set?

brucea 04-04-2011 10:04 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Sorry - didn't even look at her post date.

Yes, it is a Suzuki set made for the gz250.

I suspect that in the intervening 14 months since the request, he may have found one. :whistle:

brucea 04-04-2011 10:26 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Well, if anyone else needs one . . . make an offer.

Would you have any pics of the items ?

brucea 04-05-2011 12:39 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
I will get a few pics for you.

It is the same one featured on Babbits. Actually got it from there.

So, you will just see the same part in different views.

waya 04-09-2011 02:37 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Babbits?

Have you sold it yet?

brucea 04-09-2011 08:35 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
No - still sitting in the closet in it's box

waya 04-09-2011 10:21 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
$75 + shipping ?

brucea 04-09-2011 11:29 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
$75 for something that retails for $250 to $300? And is brand new never used?

While I am not expecting to make money on it, I will not just give it away.

waya 04-10-2011 07:58 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
No counter offer?

brucea 04-10-2011 09:01 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
I am not here to haggle. You know what it is worth. $75 is an insult.

waya 04-10-2011 09:11 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Post it in the parts for sale section with a price.

I don't know what it is worth to you.

Waya, you might want to check out Oneidasuzuki.com...............closed for the next 3 days for inventory but. They have a OEM sissy bar and rack for 263 bucks.
Was doing some surfing for a GZ 250 sissy bar and that is what popped up.

You specifically asked for someone to make an offer, so how is his offer an insult exactly? You didn't even give us a general idea of what kind of money you would want for it, and then asked for someone to make an offer on it, then you got someone to make you an offer, and now you are insulted? Doesn't really make any sense to me.



I am with JWR on this one, you know how much the sissy bar is worth to YOU, and you said you don't want to haggle so put a firm price on it and either someone will buy it or they won't, that will solve everyones problem.

orlando 04-12-2011 01:15 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Let me know how much it cost ?

brucea 04-12-2011 03:26 PM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
I finally took some pics of it.

Yes - this is an OEM Suzuki sissy bar made for the GZ250, complete with the hardware and instructions. (as I have stated before)

These now retail between $263 and over $300.

I will part with this one for no less than $200 plus shipping costs. (UPS from 40356 zip code)

So, I will entertain all offers for $200 or more until 04/20/11. Then, the highest bidder and first with the funds (if tied) gets it.

Thank you.

But............... You still haven't said how much you want for it. :)

GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Fwiw I paid 75 for mine, I think. Bought it off a guy on here. The retail price is a little crazy but then, so are most mc accessory prices.

Just for reference, the one he posted pictures of is OEM and not M/C.

I'm having a senior moment here. What do you mean by M/C ??

The "MC Enterprises" after-market brand. They offer a Sissy Bar and Luggage Rack for the GZ250. The construction is different. They make the Sissy Bar and Luggage Rack as separate components:

http://www.amazon.com/MC-Enterprises-Si ... B001J8MJZQ

http://www.xtremebargains.net/index.php ... s_id=14024

I haven't found anything that tells me the load limits between the two.. so have no idea as to which may be better.

mrlmd1 04-13-2011 08:35 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Those fender mounted rear racks usually have a recommended weight limit of 7 lbs.
The integrated one piece sissybar rack should be able to carry a bit more.

alanmcorcoran 04-13-2011 10:13 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
mc = motor cycle. The one I bought was a genuine Suzuki. I'll do a search to see if I can find what I paid.

Found my post. I think it is: viewtopic.php?p=41784&sid=2e1400f5e2ad1d1db6ca104b d3dedcc9#p41784 Paid $75 plus shipping.

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Waya, if it was me I would go with the OEM rack/backrest combo rather than the 2 pieces from MC and save some bucks while getting a better load limit too. Oneida Suzuki, part # 99000-93031-100.

brucea 04-15-2011 03:41 AM

Re: GZ250 Sissy bar
 
Babitts listing with price: http://cart.babbittsonline.com/pages/ca ... -rack.aspx

Oneida listing with price: http://www.oneidasuzuki.com/store/parts ... gz250.html

Oneida will also charge a minimum $21.96 for shipping. Not sure about Babitts. I was figuring between $10 & $15 as a guess for shipping from me to you. Again that is a guess.


So . . . either way, the one I have for sale is still priced lower for the same exact item.

If you can find a better price for a brand new one (still in the plastic it came in as mine is) or a very good used one, then by all means buy it. :2tup:
